Here is a tuna-cucumber-pasta recipe that delivers amazing fresh flavors and has always been a favorite whenever it has been served. Guaranteed to be the WOW factor of your meal. This recipe and some of my other favorites are on: dougsdinners.blogspot.com

Provided by dhoag3423

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package rotini pasta (rotini pasta preferred, tri-color fun for summer) or 1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni noodles (rotini pasta preferred, tri-color fun for summer)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Italian dressing (I think Good Seasons is superior to Wish Bone)
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons fresh dill weed, chopped fine or 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
2 cups cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, then each half cut in two lengthwise again and then sliced thinly
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1/4 cup scallion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (7 ounce) cans albacore tuna in water, well drained by pressing lid hard on tuna while holding can upside down over sink (Costco Solid White Albacore tuna is wonderful! Bumblebee albacore in water second)

Steps:

  • Prepare macaroni or pasta as directed on package. Combine mayonnaise, Italian dressing, mustard, and dill. Add pasta to dressing and mix well. Place vegetables and tuna in salad bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add pasta and dressing mixture and toss all ingredients gently. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours before serving.
  • NOTES: Good Seasons Italian salad dressing makes an easy, wonderful marinade for chicken on the grill. Place chicken pieces in Ziploc bag with ½ cup salad dressing for at least one hour. Be careful, remembering that the dressing is made with salad oil and will flare up at first as the oil ignites. It can also be used dry as a rub.
  • Good Seasons salad dressing is becoming harder to find as Kraft Foods moves toward higher end premium dressings.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh dill. If you don't have fresh dill, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried dill.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the salad according to the recipe and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • If you want a more creamy salad, you can add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise or sour cream.
  • For a more tangy salad, you can add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
  • To make the salad more colorful, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped red onion or 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper.

Conclusion:

This Dilled Tuna Cucumber Salad is a refreshing and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. The combination of tuna, cucumber, dill, and mayonnaise is a classic for a reason, and it is sure to please everyone.
